Yahhhhhhhhhhhhhh! there are all here..... My furbabies & I played with them,,,and now it is time to say farewell and send them to their new homes... Thanx for all of your creativity, of which I will be pledgerizing some of those ideas! I have 4 packets ready to be sent off to "special farmgirls" as I had mentioned in my emails. I know that they will love them. Thanx again for coming out to play. I will do this again, but it will have to wait till July when I get back from all my retreats/trips...then I can kick back and have fun stitchin' while sitting on the deck enjoying the beautiful Spokane Summer... Speaking of which, it is in the mid 60's today!!!!oh yea baby,,,,whip out the flip flops... >^..^< Happiness is being a katmom. mjf#72 Sisters on the Fly#472 www.katmom4.blogspot.com www.katmom44.blinkz.com

Hey Cheryl, glad your's arrived....the best part is they can be worn on a jacket, scarf, on a hat or a handbag and even attached to an apron!. After all, aprons need a little "bling" too!
I made Lavender scones and molasses ginger bread cookies. I love Tea parties (and Martini parties). Today we used my collection of cups/sauces & dessert plates that I brought back from Germany in the late 1960's.
Hey Jess,,,,I want your biscotti receipe.....and for you to come over to my house & make/bake 'em! lol! hugz

As soon as I opened my mailbox, I knew I had a package from Grace! I got my felt pins today! They are all so wonderful and creative. Every farmgirl has a different style and imaginative ideas! I love them all!
Carrie- my 3 year old son fell in love with the little girl pin you made. He screamed when I wouldn't let him have it! He is talking to it right now and being very gentle with it. I may have a hard time getting it back!

I finally made it to the P.O. today ( I fell off a kitchen chair while trying to hammer a nail in the wall a few days ago, I'm getting too old for such silliness) and there was my package of pins. They are so nice, what a lovely assortment, and thank you Grace for yours and the bag of lavender. My favorite scent....So when does the next one start? Karin

Mine are in too!! I think they came in Saturday's Mail!! I've fashioned a Long strip of Fabric from that upholstry fabric that i bought last year.. ( Like our bags we all had at Karin's in Georgia Jess..) & doubled it over.. that way as I gain more Pins I can still add to the strip. & I've stapled it at the top to a bookcase in the sewing room.. So I can See all of them!
They are all SOOOoooo sweet! Thanks So much Girls! I love them!! Your all so clever!!!
Thanks Grace for your Gracious Hosting!!
Love ya!

What a good idea Kathie. I went to a get together at a friends house this weekend and her cushion on her rocker in the living room was out of tht fabric, too.
I should have known that monkey was Cheryl-cw246..you do great work Cheryl.
Who made the blue heart with all the asst. buttons.?

Karin~electridunce is the designer/stitcher extrodinair of the button heart feltie.
I love the idea of stashing bit's of felt/beads/buttons/fiberfil and thread in a ziploc baggie to tote around to those long waiting/boring appointmants....twixt & tween that & yoyo kits, we will never have idol hands.

That's funny, Jessica! My son loved that one best too. He eventually gave it back to me in trade for going bye-bye, but he talked to her and played with her hair for the longest time.
